Still though, he said he cares about his partner.
“I want Janel to be great. I want her to be protected. I want her to always look good, whether we are out and about. I care about her because she’s my partner and my priority on and off the dance floor. We’re not dating.”
Janel agreed, adding: "It’s amazing that people love us and want to talk about us, but on the other hand we would love it if they just focus on what we’re doing daily.”
